End of All People (2nd) - arranged by Into DecayReview by LaLa, 23/07/2019 Honestly, I was not familiar with this JB tune before. This is not bad for thrash metal. I'm also curious what's Mordi's involvement in this track. I am guessing he is the lead singer?… … 😉 |

Auf Wiedersehen Monty & Commando - arranged by Jeroen TelReview by omoroca, 22/07/2019 I know, you're supposed to be objective in a review. But as a fan of Hubbard *and* Tel, I can't help but to get goosebumps all over and listen to this cool stuff over and over and over all day long |

JT In Space (Man On The Moon ReDub) - arranged by DMCReview by LaLa, 05/07/2019 Most excellent!!!First of all, what great timing on this release: on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing! Second, this is one really cool retro space disco infused, yet very modern sounding production! The sound bites, the vocoded vocal, the over-the-top drums, the arrangement, the mixing - everything is just top-notch all around. I really, really enjoy it! Thanks for sharing it with us! |

The Last Ninja - The Wilderness - arranged by MOSchopsReview by LaLa, 02/07/2019 An objectively authentic idea: performing this classic Last Ninja tune on nothing but traditional Japanese instruments! I'm shocked nobody thought of this before…Although I highly suspect this is all sequenced stuff with plugins (vs. an actual live ensemble), the arrangement and the instrumentation is still very convincing. Really nicely done! I'm looking forward to more performances in the same style! |

Artillery (shape demo mix) - arranged by Gerd BahlReview by LaLa, 15/06/2019 Very well produced, I especially like all the subtleties of the lead (including that quick trill that was present in the original, too - nice touch). I think the lead sound is a bit overfiltered at times (just let it rip!), and overall the arrangement is lacking some sort of extra energy that I find hard to describe. But it's quite an enjoyable remix as is. |

The Human Race (Goldrunner) Piano Live - arranged by LightSideReview by LaLa, 15/06/2019 I said it before and I'll say it again: I'm a sucker for piano covers, so any piano piece will automatically get upvoted by me. 😊 But I think this piece could've used more variation in dynamics, it's sort of flat throughout. Especially if this is a live recording, not a sequenced piece. |

Yie Ar Kung Fu 2 - arranged by Dr FutureReview by LaLa, 15/06/2019 There are many things I like about this remix. Its graceful intro (With a cowbell! You can't go wrong with a cowbell! 😉), the oriental sounding instruments, the wonderful arrangement, the balanced mix, etc.But here's why I'm a bit harsh with my vote: the melody line is rather flat. The lead instrument is very, very nice, but I miss all the slides and trills that make the melody line more interesting, more emotional. Reyn captured (and enhanced) that beautifully in his remix on Galway Remixed, and since then I can't even hear the original SID without those in my head. Compared to that, the melody line here sounds flat and a bit lifeless. But other than that, this is an outstanding production, showing great craftsmanship. |

The Human Race (Goldrunner) Piano Live - arranged by LightSideReview by Markus Gecko, 12/06/2019 Simple and effective. Good mastering too, I enjoyed the panning and separation. SID piano cover can be a bit of a cliché, but this impressed. |

Yie Ar Kung Fu 2 - arranged by Dr FutureReview by Chilli-Uk1969, 12/06/2019 Stunning in So many ways lots of little tricks and a very very good interpretation. |

Vendetta - arranged by ColmarrReview by krommenaas, 06/06/2019 Great choice of instruments as always. The wobbly theme that is the climax of the original starts before the halfway point here, then this version works towards an ever more frantic and noisy rendition of the brooding main theme, a bit Front 242-esque, followed by a pensive coda. Love it! |
|
Gyroscope - Halloween Theme - arranged by Peter GantarReview by LaLa, 29/05/2019 The core theme is somewhat lifeless and repetitive. And it doesn't really scare me, sorry. Despite all the added sound FX. |
|
Bionic Commando Tune 6 - arranged by Allister BrimbleReview by stechmann, 15/05/2019 Great version of a great tune. keep up the good work, hope to see more in the quality |
|
Asterix And The Magic Cauldron - Gaulish Village - arranged by Peter GantarReview by LaLa, 08/05/2019 A valiant attempt at an orchestral arrangement, but the instruments all sound flat and boring. There's a total lack of dynamics throughout the tune, too. Not bad for a start, but this could've benefited from more time in the oven. |
|
Microprose Soccer Theme - arranged by Greg EatonReview by LaLa, 08/05/2019 This! 😊 This is how I always should've imagined this tune: as oom-pah music! Perfect marriage of source material and remix style!But I think the piece could've used some more careful mixing: it all sounds too loud, too harsh. Probably because it has too many high frequencies in it. |
|
Zybex (Zipbacks feat. BakiTheFox Kacepru) - arranged by DJ CzyszyReview by LaLa, 08/05/2019 The purist in me is protesting: but this is not a 1:1 cover of the original! True, but it's still bloody amazing! The rock-style arrangement is spot-on, the instrumentation was obviously carefully chosen, the guitars are played craftily, and the result is a powerful piece of music that also happens to be a mind-blowing SID remix. |
|
International Karate (extended mix) - arranged by FastLoadersReview by Amon73, 01/05/2019 Uno dei migliori remix che ho ascoltato in questo periodo! Bellissimo 😊 Sono sicuro che piacerà molto a chi come me, ha vissuto quell'epoca indimenticabile! |

That's the Way it is - main (regular) - arranged by Gerd BahlReview by LaLa, 01/05/2019 First off, tons of respect for remixing the entire 7+ minute tune! The arrangement is a bit uncomplicated, but it varies enough not to become boring. It also nicely retains the atmosphere of the original material.The opening chords feel a little off for me (especially the last bar of the sequence), but once the drums came in, I was sold. I also like how you turned all the arpeggios into chords, kudos for that. Overall, there are lots of nice touches throughout the tune (like the whistles, or the sharp lead playing the melody line) which keep it interesting throughout. |

Dutch Breeze/Robocop 3 (Progressive Uplift) - arranged by LagerfeldtReview by Ryrynz, 05/04/2019 This has everything going for it. Beautiful beat, beautiful synth, effects fit in perfectly… One of my all time favourites. No Emotion or energy? It's infectious! How can you not want to get your groove on listening to this? |
|
The Antics (ambient mix) - arranged by ColmarrReview by Ryrynz, 03/04/2019 Taking inspiration from the second quarter segment of the original SID and building up it, it crafts a powerful remix that which doesn't encompass all the original tune has to offer does a remarkable job with what it has. The most memorable part of the SID was taken, wonderfully re-created and given a nice long dark synth build up. Well done. I feel that if the lead up was shorter people would've rated this higher, but I love it. You should do a slight variation of it that includes the other parts of the tune. |
|
Lightforce - arranged by The St. Albans Rob Hubbard Fan ClubReview by LaLa, 02/04/2019 A powerful version, full of energy. In the first couple of minutes I find the brass sections a bit lacking in oomph, but then they make up for it later. The drums and the drones are especially well crafted. |
|
Comic Bakery - arranged by Instant RemedyReview by Ryrynz, 25/03/2019 2000 really was your year wasn't it? Would be really cool to hear you make these again now. Very enjoyable to listen to and of course super nostalgic… |
|
Last Ninja (extended) - arranged by Instant RemedyReview by Ryrynz, 25/03/2019 If this was done by anyone else I don't think it would work quite as well as it does. Rating it badly because you don't like club style mixes is bad form, one of the best remixes from 2000. |
|
Ocean Loader V2 - arranged by Instant RemedyReview by Ryrynz, 25/03/2019 Capturing the feel of the original and even one upping it in a way only a handful of other remixers are capable of. Incredible job. |
|
X-Out - arranged by MRTReview by HighCSharps, 24/03/2019 The best arrangement of X-out, Albedo, Plastic Pop and many more. Mastering on a very high level. Semi-live and live performance. |
|
The Human Race (From Past to Present mix) - arranged by GibsReview by rnuls, 24/03/2019 Ce remix est tout simplement un de mes préférés. J'ai encore du mal avec le son de guitare mais franchement gibs, tu régales mes oreilles. MERCI |
|
Super Hang-On The Winning Run - arranged by GibsReview by rnuls, 24/03/2019 Génial, ça envoie du lourd, la batterie sonne boîte à rythme mais j'avoue que ça m'a donné envie de rejouer au jeu. Merci gibs. |
|
Bombo (vocal mix) - arranged by Sanjo RideReview by LaLa, 15/03/2019 The vocoder vocals are pretty cool, although a bit hard to understand, because the syllables are too distinct, too robotic, there's no flow to it. The rest of the track could've used some spicing up, but overall, it's a decent remix! |
|
Thrust (Full of Oxygene Remix) - arranged by BaRReview by wobbler, 09/03/2019 I hear early nineties New Order-chords in a mix of JMJ-beats. Can't be something wrong with that, can it? |
|
Thrust (Full of Oxygene Remix) - arranged by BaRReview by LaLa, 09/03/2019 As a big Jarre fan I am actually in awe of how you managed to stuff Thrust into the framework of Oxygene! I think the magic act starts to fall apart a bit halfway through, but then it picks up again and finishes elegantly. Really nicely done, sir, my hats off to you! |
|
Thrust (Full of Oxygene Remix) - arranged by BaRReview by Markus Gecko, 08/03/2019 Jarre Instruments do not maketh a Jarr-esque remix. Other remixes based on Jarre here on rko have much more authentic Jarre rhythm and song structure. |
